Will Mead and dog “Sparkle”

12 min. in 2. 3 shows. Very well dressed and interesting act. The dog is certainly remarkably well trained and intelligent. He tells time, rings bells in tune, picks out letters of the alphabet and in other ways shows high intelligence. Especially pleasing act for the children. Liberal applause at the finish.
